Sebokeng's R78m driving licence testing centre in ruins
The Star
|May 08, 2025
R9.4 MILLION blown on security — yet the Sebokeng Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) is a wreck.
The vandalised, abandoned site has become a symbol of wasteful spending and failed oversight. This information was revealed by Gauteng MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA), Jacob Mamabolo, who confirmed that a total of R9 420 295.68 has been spent on securing the Sebokeng DLTC since 1 June 2019, in response to questions tabled by the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL).
From 2019 to 2025, over R9.4 million was spent on security for the site, with annual amounts of R966 000 in 2019/2020 R1 102.290 2020/2021 R1 088 858.16 2021/2022 R2 053.800 2022/2023 R2 063.400 2023/2024 R2 145 947.52 2024/2025 Despite this hefty expenditure, the facility remains in a state of ruin, vandalised and non-operational.
During a visit to the site, The Star encountered security personnel who were unwilling to speak in detail. Still, it came to our attention that they were operating on a shift basis to safeguard the premises.
